by ANTHONY CLARK

Northern Arts, one of the regional subsidiaries of the Arts
Council, has created a new position of communications officer to help it
promote its growing portfolio of arts-based projects. The post is seen
as a vital link in the communications chain now that the Arts Council
has committed itself to a decentralised structure with greater regional
autonomy. The communications officer will report to deputy chief
executive Paul Rubinstein and work alongside the organisation’s press
officer, Jo Beddows. They will be expected to build regional awareness
of the organisation’s activities and develop a communications strategy.
